Myths & Facts

Myths and Facts about Billing Companies

Myth: You lose control of the income.


FACT: More so than your own employee, a billing company has their eye on your income. Our billing company gets paid based off of the income you take in and that means we are heavily invested in the project. We help you learn how to participate in getting accurate and complete billing information.


Myth: All billing companies are the same.


FACT: Not all billing companies are the same. We have more than 24 years of experience and are more than willing to present you with references we have dealt with in the past. Our professionals strictly adhere to HIPAA rules and regulations. We have a proven track record of success. All claims are submitted with 24-hours. We get claims paid and GET RESULTS! Sometimes in as little as 4 days!


Myth: You have to have experience in my medical specialty.


FACT: Since we have over 25 years of experience, we have the resources needed to excel with any specialty. We work with companies of all sizes including large hospitals. Your relationship with us is built on trust so if you have any concerns, we are more than happy to address them.


Myth: Past experiences have not met my expectations.


FACT: No billing company should say they can guarantee payment, or any unrealistic promise like this because they are guaranteeing something beyond their control. Reputable companies like ours make promises like submitting every bill within 24 hours of the medical service. We promise clean and accurate submissions.


A billing company is completely separate from every insurance company and has no control over when a claim is paid. We follow through by verifying and tracking all submissions but after that the reimbursement of the claim rests on the insurance company. Of course, if something is underpaid, we follow through and find the reason behind the denial. We do everything in our power to get the claims paid.
